Here are the macros that our IIFYM calculator generated for you:

Protein Grams: 152
Fat Grams: 69
Carbs Grams: 184
Fiber Grams: 27-37

When all of these macros are added up, you get a total of 1960 calories.

These calories are based on your personal TDEE, which the IIFYM Calculator estimated at 2613), less the percentage you selected as your fat loss deficit. Eat less than this number and you burn body fat for fuel. Eat more and you will store body fat for fuel for a later date. Pretty simple, right?

That seems like a high amount of carbs and not enough protein.

I currently weigh 183 lbs at 5'5" (yes, really short) and am almost 39 yrs old.

What do y'all think?

Calories look fine, protein is based on your estimated lean body mass. Now if you want more protein have at it and take those cals from carbs.
Your cals will need to be adjusted as you go along based on the weight loss.

I'd be miserable on that little fat.

85g at least for me.
